Chapter 18 What if it were more direct?
Ye Youhuan was depressed in her heart and felt that she was being looked down upon.
He returned to his camp and tried to get a few of his subordinates for a drink, but saw them gathered around a military map, discussing something.
"Zhao Liang, Meng Fei, you two go get wine." Ye Youhuan complained: "What kind of topographic map to study, we just need to follow the order!" ”
"Lord Commander, have you encountered any troubles, if you have any troubles, I will help you share your worries." It was a dark-skinned man who spoke.
This person's name is Xu Chang, he is in the prime of life in his thirties, although he has dark skin, he is quite handsome, with phoenix eyes, lying silkworm eyebrows, dignified appearance, and a righteous body.
He is one of the five leaders under Ye Youhuan.
The other four are three youngsters and a flower-haired veteran.
The veteran's name is Zhang Zhong, in his sixties, he has been a soldier all his life, he retired after the fall of the Yan Kingdom, and when he heard that Princess Jinyu wanted to restore the country, he immediately signed up to join the army, and then became the head of the capital, and was assigned to serve beside Ye Youhuan.
The other three are all young people, named Meng Fei, Zhao Liang and Zhuge An. The experiences of these three young people are similar, they are all former virtuous ministers and good generals of Yan Kingdom, and they saw the building of Yan Kingdom tilting, but they did not have the power to turn the tide.
After the destruction of the country, they lived in endless humiliation every day.
In addition to the veteran Zhang Zhong, the other four people in the five heads are all enthusiastic and full of expectations to achieve a great cause.
Ye Youhuan likes Xu Chang the most.
Because Xu Chang and Ye Youhuan are both small people in the market.
Ye Youhuan is an orphan who was forced to become a ruffian hooligan by life.
Xu Chang is the nursing home of a wealthy family, he is quite martial, and he is shrewd, he is measured in everything he says, and he is very steady.
Ye Youhuan was worried that no one shared the depressed mood in his heart, and after listening to Xu Chang's words, he complained: "Those guys in the military tent think that I don't have real talent and learning, they let me be an official and let me lead the troops, all for the sake of my cousin's force value against the sky." ”
"Ling Mei can injure General Long with one blow, it's really a force to the sky!"
"Yes, the commander's sister is simply born with divine powers!"
"If you can injure General Long with one blow, at worst, you have the same strength as General Long!"
The five of them are all talking.
"Hey!" Ye Youhuan was very angry, and said loudly dissatisfied: "You guys got the point wrong, I'm depressed now that others say that I don't have the ability to know how to rely on women!" ”
All five looked at each other.
Because, in their hearts, the battalion commander in front of them really has no real talent to learn.
I soaked in the pile of female doctors all day long, and I didn't care about the military affairs in the camp at all.
"What kind of eyes are you looking at?" Ye Youhuan said angrily: "Even you think I don't have real skills? ”
"My subordinates don't dare to think so." The five of them hurriedly said.
"Isn't it just a war!" Ye Youhuan walked to the table and said, "I'll also take a look at this map to see if there is a chance to make a surprise attack in this battle." ”
A surprise attack is an attack that points out its surprise.
On the battlefield, surprise attacks can often produce great results.
However, if the enemy is prepared, the surprise attack is equivalent to taking the initiative to get into the trap set by the enemy, and if it is not possible, the whole army will be wiped out.
Ye Youhuan used to be just a small soldier, so he had never read the art of war.
Even, he could not read the symbols on the military map, and could only barely understand the mountains and rivers.
"It's a pretty detailed map." Ye Youhuan didn't know how to pretend to understand.
He looked serious, as if he was going to seriously discuss military affairs, and asked, "Do you have any insights after watching it for so long just now?" ”
"We studied it, and Princess Jinyu's tactics are the most time-saving and the most secure." It was Zhuge An who spoke, this young man was polite, his goatee was a little sparse, he liked to brush his beard with his hands, and every time he did this, he seemed to be thinking about something.
"You didn't go to the big tent of the Chinese army, so you dare to be sure of the battle plan for this big war?" Ye Youhuan asked.
"Of course." Zhuge An stroked his beard and said: "Now that the war is about to break out, it is impossible to change anything. The army will attack the city tomorrow, and then it will launch a general attack directly, because time waits for no one, and we must race against time to take advantage of the flexibility and speed of the blitzkrieg. ”
"Then I'll test you to see if you can really understand military maps, what is this ......"
Ye Youhuan pointed to a symbol on the map and asked what that symbol represented.
"This one means it's steep." Zhuge An introduced.
"What about this?" Ye Youhuan pointed to another symbol.
"Represents the approximate height of the mountains."
"And what does this mean?" There are also things to ask.
Zhuge An replied: "This is the meaning of many forests here. ”
……
Ye Youhuan asked, and Zhuge An replied.
Little by little, Ye Youhuan figured out all kinds of symbols on the map of the military division and gained new skills to view the military map.
Then, his mind fell silent on the map of the military division.
The other five people looked at each other, and each other's expressions were very helpless.
At the beginning, they saw that Ye Youhuan didn't understand the map at all, but at the moment, no one bothered Ye Youhuan to focus on studying the map, and the meeting was originally to express their opinions, and they were curious about what Ye Youhuan would gain from staring at the map for so long.
"Our plan is to attack Yepi Pass first, and then directly destroy the military village of Yehuling in one go, right?" Ye Youhuan gestured with his finger on the map and said.
"That's right." Zhuge An sighed: "This will be a tough battle, and it is initially estimated that the number of our dead and wounded will be very large!" ”
"It's because it's not easy to storm the city, right?" Ye Youhuan asked.
"It's not easy to tackle key problems, and it's especially difficult to attack this city." Zhuge An introduced: "The five of us were talking about this matter just now, Yepi Pass is just like its name, there is a certain slope, from our direction to fight over, the enemy is condescending, it is easy to defend, our army has no advantage except for the number of people, if you want to break through Yepi Pass, you must pay a tragic price." ”
"And what if you go around to the back to attack the city?" Ye Youhuan asked, pointing to a mountain path on the map.
"Local residents say that the road is so steep and difficult that if you are not careful, you will roll down the cliff, and it is almost impossible for tens of thousands of troops to pass through it." Zhuge An introduced.
"And what about a small force like ours?" Ye Youhuan asked again.
"The mountain road is difficult to walk, the slope is too big, and if a soldier falls, it may involve a string of soldiers behind him to fall with him, which is too risky."
"If the mountain road can be walked, can we suddenly attack the rear of the enemy army?" Ye Youhuan wondered if the steep mountain road was the only obstacle to launching a surprise attack.
"Even if you can get through, you can't raid Yepi Pass, in that case, Yehuling will send troops to form a two-sided attack." Zhuge An introduced.
"Then what if we go directly to Wild Fox Ridge?" Ye Youhuan swiped his finger on the map, pointing directly at the military important place of Yehuling.
